The purpose of Peel Ply is to absorb excess epoxy thus reducing the weight of the lay up. A second advantage of the Peel Ply is the smooth, virtually pin hole free surface it leaves. A lot of folks also use Dacron cloth for this purpose. It does not remove as easily as peel ply so some experimenting may be a good idea. I have heard if you use Dacron that you want to remove it before the full cure of the epoxy.

I was also looking for peel ply. The guy had never heard of it. When I explained the purpose, he showed me rolls of rigid plastic sheets (looking like old overhead projector slides). He said that's what his customers use when they want the cured surfaces to be smooth. That puzzles me. How come we don't do that? Is it because they fear trapped bubbles less than we do, or what?
